“Half the florists are gay anyway, aren’t they? ” It was an era which gay people were still ‘fightg for space’, he says, which – as more and more straight people beme attracted to the district – many bars and clubs, cludg Poptastic and later Hollywood’s, operated strictly gay-only door polici.
(Julia Grant ed to stand on the door of Hollywood’s makg sure no straight people entered, if necsary tellg men to snog each other to prove they were gay. ) It was only five years sce hardle anti-gay chief nstable Jam Anrton, a man famed for his raids on the village’s bars durg the 1980s, had left his post and the muny was fiercely protective of s safe haven.
Terry Kg opened Europe’s – or the world’s, pendg which article you read om the time – first ever gay shoppg centre.
